CoreLogic to lay off 68 workers in Sunrise

CoreLogic has notified the state that it is laying off 68 people in its Sunrise office.

The Irvine, Calif.-based real estate research firm says it is exiting the credit due diligence business that works with banks to provide background checks on borrowers applying for loans.

CoreLogic expects the layoffs to occur in the first quarter of 2014, spokeswoman Alyson Austin said Monday. The affected workers have been informed of the decision and will receive job placement counseling, she said.

Austin said CoreLogic employs 130 additional workers in Sunrise, so the office at 1625 N. Harrison Parkway will remain open.

The firm also has notified workers of planned layoffs at three other credit due diligence offices in Jacksonville and California, Austin said.

The federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act requires firms with at least 100 workers to give two months' notice of layoffs to the employees and the state.

The law is generally triggered when a company lays off 50 or more workers within a 30-day period or closes a plant.
